While Clip Studio Paint has various types of data you might want to export or back up (such as brushes, materials, workspaces, or application preferences), the provided information specifically describes a method for exporting your canvas content as a flattened image file and configuring the settings for that export process.
Below is a breakdown of how to export a file from Clip Studio Paint using the "Flatten and save to device storage" method, which involves accessing and adjusting specific export settings for the output file.
Exporting a File with Specific Settings
When you want to save your artwork from Clip Studio Paint as a single image file (like JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.) and customize the options for that file, you can follow these steps:
- Navigate to the File Menu: Open the drawing you wish to export in Clip Studio Paint.
- Select the Export Command: From the File menu, tap Flatten and save to device storage. This command is particularly useful for exporting a merged version of your layered artwork.
- Choose Your File Format: After tapping "Flatten and save to device storage", you will be prompted to select the desired file format for your export (e.g.,
.jpg,.png,.tif). - Confirm Initial Save: The "Flatten and save to device storage" dialog box will appear. Select OK to proceed.
- Access Export Settings: Selecting OK will open the Export Settings dialog box according to the selected file format. This is where you define specific options for your exported file.
- Configure Export Settings: Within the Export Settings dialog box, set the desired export method and other options specific to the file format you chose (e.g., image quality, size, expression color, transparency settings).
- Complete the Export: Once you have configured the settings, tap OK to finalize the export process and save the file to your device storage with the specified options.
This process focuses on exporting your artwork as an image file and customizing the settings related to that specific file export, such as compression, resolution, or color mode. It is different from exporting application-wide settings like brush sets or workspace layouts.
